Paul Kumatsky, 22, sold pieces of gold jewelry to Gold 2 Cash and Legacy Coins in Lutz and a 100,000-volt stun gun to Land O'Lakes Gun and Pawn, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. He collected about $1,500 for the sales. His earliest sale was July 21, 2011, and his latest was May 30, 2012, officials said.

After his arrest, he admitted none of the items he'd sold belonged to him, authorities said. Some he sold for friends younger than 18, he said. Others had no explanation listed in the sheriff's report.
